| Publisher Description: Bringing Out the Best in Human Effectiveness will greatly interest anyone aspiring to improve the human condition. This book focuses on an Upward Bound program conducted at the University of West Florida between 1979 and 1983. Federally funded Upward Bound programs offer academic instruction, individual tutoring, and counseling for low-income, disadvantaged high school students. This study examines what the program meant and continues to mean to participants. It is this meaning that provides context for important lessons in transformative teaching and learning. This is the long-untold story of participant observers and the lessons they learned about the kind of teaching and learning that changes lives. |
